Jacksonville city officials keep doubling down on the city's redistricting maps, despite a federal judge's ruling against them.
The city has potentially paid more than $150,000 in fees to outside law firms and consultants in its attempts to draw and defend district maps, according to a Florida Times-Union review of invoices.
That was one of the week's biggest stories before our media roundtable today. Among the others: Douglas Anderson School of the Arts canceled the play "Indecent" over content deemed inappropriate for students. And excitement is building for the Jaguars playoff game on Saturday.
